Nuwave - Gold precision induction cooktop, 12" shatter-proof ceramic glass surface, 8" large heating coil, portable, 51 temperature settings

The voltage required by the cooktop only works in specific regions of the world (it can only take a maximum of 144V). I had to return mine since my country has a line voltage of 230V.

It feels and looks very solid, and high-quality. Works beautifully. Love that you can set the exact temp, wattage, and cook time (many ovens have timers, but it's hard to find a cooktop with one)! Wattage setting allows you to set it to 1500w when it's the only high-draw appliance on the circuit, to cook super fast, or 750w when sharing the circuit with other high-draw appliances. It's also BIG... Big enough to heat up a very large pot on it! Even if you have a perfectly-functional range with a non-induction cooktop already, I swear, everyone should have at least ONE of these induction cooktops! It makes cooking pretty much *everything*--including soups, cream-of-wheat, oatmeal, etc.--much easier, and more convenient, and foods just come out better... and keeping soups, sauces, etc., warm after they're done cooking works MUCH better, because you can set an exact temp (like, say, 150° F) too keep it warm, and not worry about it boiling/drying out.

De las mejores compras que he hecho... y fue porque eché a perder la anterior al echar demasiadas papas en una olla y se salió todo el aceite.... Pero compré una idéntica porque es muy buena.

I have had a Nuwave for years. It finally became unusable when the push buttons wore out. I can't be without one, and this one came promptly and in good order. I am rarely unhappy with anything I order from Amazon.

I bought this Nuwave induction cooktop specifically to cook and roast chiles for making salsa, and it has been an absolute game-changer. Anyone who's ever roasted jalapeños, serranos, or chile de arbol knows how smoky and intense it can get indoors, and this cooktop solves that problem perfectly. The cooktop is lightweight and portable, so I can easily set it up on my patio or in my backyard. It heats up incredibly fast and offers precise temperature control, which is essential for getting that perfect char on the chiles without burning them. I've used it to roast everything from jalapeños and serranos to chile de guajillo, and it handles the job beautifully. The surface is also easy to wipe clean after all the mess. Beyond making salsa, I've also discovered that it's absolutely perfect for searing a sous vide steak or salmon outdoors. The high wattage settings provide a fantastic, even heat that gives a perfect crust in just a minute or two, without smoking up the house. If you're a salsa aficionado or a sous vide fan and want to keep the smoke and spicy air out of your kitchen, this Nuwave induction cooktop is an absolute must-have. It's powerful, easy to use, and incredibly effective. I highly recommend it!

I have used it a few times now. It works well, the fan is quieter than the one I had before ( a model from another brand, about 75% cheaper). I hate the sound of a fan but I am not aware of a model that does not have one. It stops as soon as you stop cooking ( the fan kept running a few minutes with my previous model). For low power ( simmer), the device sends the heat with ON / OFF cycles (you can hear very very subtle clicks) but the cycles are very fast and the heat is very stable on your plate . My previous device had a cycle of 10 sec and it was impossible to do any low heat cooking or to keep your plate warm. This part is great and it opens the door to more types of usage. I used my previous model only to get something boiling very fast since at low power, with those long cycles, it was not really usable. The model is a little bulky, large diameter and thick. I knew from the measurements but still it is not a small thing. The buttons are real push buttons (they are not touch buttons as it was said in a comparison table that I saw on Amazon -- these tables are full of mistakes very often). So, the buttons are push type (a little membrane, waterproof, that pops down when you press it). Frankly, they dont seem like they will last many years. Overall, so far I like it. Not perfect but a huge step above my previous model. The stability (not necessarily the precision) of the temperature is true and this is an important factor. In other words it holds very well its temperature but if it says 200, it just means warmer than 190 and that's fine with me.
